These days we have been enjoying a great outpour of God in our congregation.  I find myself in awe of the love that God has for his people.  He has repeatedly seen us through many hard trials.  How can he love us so deeply in the face of our flaws? What a mighty God!
  
What I love about God, among so many things, is his never ending reservoir. It seems as if we run out of everything.  We lose patience with our children.  We run out of tolerance with our fellowman. We lack respect for our leaders. We just don't seem to have enough of the things that make us better representatives of the God we serve.  Maybe it isn't that we don't have enough, but that we don't access what is available to us when we need it. 
 
When we go out to eat with our family, we spend the time laughing and talking about our days.  All the while, we are taking bites and sipping down our beverages.  We often don't pay much attention to the server until we realize that drink is getting low or is even empty.  I start trying to get the last sip out while I wait.  Now, you may not do this, but really out of habit, I usually ask, "Are the refills free?"

God is so good that he just keeps the grace, goodness, temperance, mercy, and love coming! When you start to feel low on what you need to get through the day, remember that you can go to God as many times as you need to recharge and refuel.  There's no reason to walk about this place without all the love you need.  Strength is available to you at a heart's whisper.  It really doesn't matter what you need. Whether it's forgiveness or faith, God has an endless supply waiting just for you. Refills are free!

Reaching the lost, 
Pastor Dr. Odie Kennedy

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need Hebrews 4:16KJV

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Atleast Say Thank You!

Image
I give honor to God today. I thank him for my life, health, and strength.  I thank him for the activities of my limbs,   I thank him for bringing me over the dangerous highways. I thank him for  keeping me from dangers seen and unseen. I'm saved, sanctified,  and filled with the precious Holy Ghost, and that with a mighty burning fire. And I do speak in tongues as the spirit gives utterance!  As a young girl growing up, I thought that was a cute little speech that you had to say when you stood before the people in church.  I used to think it was a rehearsed cliché that the mothers testified to each other.  Looking back now, it seems like every Sunday we went to altar and "got saved"! It was just something the young people did- either on our own, because our friends went, or because Mama said so.   When I got saved for real, the Lord did a good job! He showed me a better way to live and offered me his love. As I serv...

Prayer Is Essential

Image
Essential is defined as being absolutely necessary and extremely important. I cannot think of anything more essential to the spiritual health of the believer than prayer. As the year comes to close, I look back at the tragedies some of us narrowly escaped, the tests we endured, and the pain we suffered. This glance back isn't global or even national. We only have to look as far as our own front doors.  Even our houses of worship have been subject to trials. It is only through the grace of God that we are not consumed. And it is essential that we pray, and we give thanks. Prayer can sometimes be seen as powerful when the verbiage is great, and the tone is loud. For me, it has been in my quietest moments that I have seen the power of prayer manifest miracles. Though I may be surrounded by chaos, prayer allows me to come humbly before my God and find his peace. As followers of Jesus, we must take heed to his divine example. In the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:29), while facing the...

Search and Surrender

Image
This is the time when so many are evaluating their lives and declaring change.  You know the season.  When the new year rolls in, we start looking for a new person to emerge in the mirror.  This can be an effective motivation for some.  They begin the weight loss journey and soon begin to see results. That accomplishment becomes a drug that keeps them running back to the gym.   I could possibly make some declarations of my own, but this year I am asking God to do a new thing in me. It would be nice to be slimmer, richer, and all of that, but it's more important for this child of God to be spiritually made new.  I'm not talking about a new shout or dance, but I want God to transform me from the inside out.  This time of year is also a time of consecration.  We turn down our plates and lift up our hearts in prayer. We take our devotion to the next level by denying this flesh. I know you're saying that we should be doing that all of the time....
